Customizing the start up screen

uEye ActiveX Manual Version 4.00

Customizing the start up screen

The image below shows the standard uEye ActiveX control startup screen. This image is located in the driver resource and is unchangeable.

However there is a possibility to show your custom start up screen. Before displaying the standard start up image, the control looks for a file named uEyeCamOcx.bmp, located in the system32 folder of your windows installation. If this file is present and containing a loadable bitmap, this image is displayed instead. The image will be displayed not scaled and centred.

If the image doesn’t fill the entire control window, the surrounding background is filled with the color specified by the BackColor property.
